Meet Three Fish Design Studio

Sarah Georgina Porter, 26, was born in Johannesburg and brought up in Kenya. “I enjoyed the first six years of childhood on the edge of the white beaches of the Indian Ocean. Mombasa’s South coast, towards the Tanzanian border is the pristine location of the village I came to know as home, Diani.”

Favourite things to design and draw? Designwise, I enjoy the logo process although it can be quite time consuming. I believe, where possible, that a good logo is formed with pen, paper and quite a bit of patience. You have to explore many avenues before you even get to a workable logo. Only then do you start to make it digital. At the end of the day the journey you go on, and it is a journey, is very rewarding. When I am drawing and not designing it means I have found the time to just sit and enjoy. Drawing is my side hobby and it’s always great to pull myself away from my computer and go back to basics.

Why design and art? The reason I chose design and art links directly to where I grew up and especially my mum. As a child I spent hours in her studio in Kenya, where she painted, made jewellery and just collected beautiful quirky things. We would listen to music together and just be creative. I really cherish those days. I have formed a “workshop” of my own at home.

How can we buy your work? You can buy online from www.threefishdesignstudio.com. I have recently started attending the BFM Market at Casterbridge, which has been successful in terms of selling my art and also promoting Three Fish as a design company – which is my main focus. In the future I am hoping to open up an office studio in a more central location.
